How long has it been since you went out on a date?

For me it's been probably since my kids were born that hubby and I just went out to go out together. Well today we did just that. He conceded and took me to see Twilight. Well I was going with or without him but that's an entirely different story.

I can say it was nice to go out without kids in tow -- see a movie of my own choosing -- and eat dinner at a restuarant that didn't have a kids menu on the placemat. It was a great feeling to be an adult and have adult conversations that weren't constantly being interrupted. I think that hubby and I should attempt to do that more often, even if it's only every other month. I believe that every married couple needs that. I know we did.
I found when I got home I felt oddly refreshed and able to be calmer than I have been in quite a while. Not sure how long that euphoria might last but I will take it while I can get it.

As for the movie itself -- I wasn't entirely disappointed since I know that the movie rarely is as good as the book. Not to mention that the book itself was over 400 pages and there would be no way to cram that many pages into a 2 hour movie. Overall I enjoyed the characters and the representation of the story. I felt that Kristen Stewart embodied the character of Bella. She had the nuances that fit what I pictured Bella as I read the book. Robert Pattinson while not who I would have choosen for the character of Edward...he did play the part well and in the end made a great Edward Cullen.
I am looking forward to the potential for more movies from the 3 remaining books -- New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn.

So any other Twilighters out there see the movie yet? What were your thoughts?
